Do gay men really need a guide to getting laid in Rio de Janeiro? It is a city with several gay clubs and an open culture where a stroll along the beach can lead to a sexual conquest. Combined with mobile apps like Grindr, Scruff, and Tinder (all very popular in Brazil) sex is almost too easy in Rio. (Also, don’t forget, prostitution is legal in Brazil.)

However, in Portuguese they say o que é bom pode ser melhor (what is good can be better.) The following list of Rio de Janeiro’s saunas, cinemas, and sex clubs will definitely make a hot time even hotter! Most of the locations are tourist friendly, but use caution.

Cine Iris

Rua da Carioca 49 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Google Map »
Mon – Sat 10AM – 9PM
Sunday 12PM – 9PM
Creepy former cinema palace in downtown Rio. There are three floors where action takes place in the shadows while porn is projected onto the main screen. At the box office there is a schedule of live strip shows, however the performers are female. Location is also popular with transsexual prostitutes.

Cine Rex

Alvaro Alvim 33 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Google Map »
Mon – Fri 11AM – 8PM
Sat and Sun 2PM – 8PM
Another one of Rio’s former grand movie theaters in the Cinelândia neighborhood. Cine Rex has fallen into disrepair and become a XXX theater. By day, there are patrons from the nearby offices of Rio’s bustling business district. For the most part, the clientele is not-so-hot.
